A great story with an intriguing premise. Some of the science of the episode is wonky, even for late 60s understanding. Like how in the hell does a solid planet collapse and how does its mass fluctuate? WTF? That makes no sense at all. I can forgive a sun "going dark" as I don't think there was a model for main sequence stars going to supergiants and the subsequent nova that results.
I truly love Sulu. Such a magnificent character. He seems to have the most fascinating tidbits of knowledge, skills, etc. Sulu seems the most well fleshed out character of the crew. Takei does a wonderful job portraying the character.
